SPLK-1005 Exam Dumps : Splunk Cloud Certified Admin

In Splunk, an index is a data repository that stores both raw data and associated indexing information. Specifically, the raw data is stored in a compressed format, and the indexing information is stored in tsidx files (time series index files). These tsidx files enable fast searching and retrieval of data based on time. The correct terminology and structure make option B accurate.

The correct monitor statement that will capture all variations of the syslog file paths across different systems is [monitor:///var/log/network/syslog*/linux_secure/*].

This configuration works because:

syslog* matches directories that start with "syslog" (like syslog01, syslog02, etc.).

The wildcard * after linux_secure/ will capture all files within that directory, including different filenames like syslog.log and syslog.log.2020090801.

This setup will ensure that all the necessary files from the different syslog hosts are monitored.
